GRRRRRRR!
Yesterday I get to work and yes I work fast food. My boss comes to me and tells me she needs to talk to me.
I sit down and she tells me that I am too hectic, that I need to slow down. I am like ...... but apparently she told me 4 more times to slow down because the other people can't work that fast.
It is FAST food right????? Then she told me that I was antisocial because I didn't sit out in the lobby and chit chat with the others, duh..... someone has to WORK.
The next part of her lovely speech was to tell me that I am not to teach HER employees to do something a quicker way. She said they can't grasp it, and therefore I am confusing them. Afterwards she told me yes, "I know you have worked here 8 years and me only 1 but you need to slow down so the others don't feel intimidated.
I am still going wtf! Are these people serious?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I hate my boss! I have worked for her for 8 years now, and of course gotten NADA in return but grief. I work fast food of course.
Why do I hate her? Hmmmmmmmm it could be because I ran back in the building and called the fire dept when it caught on fire, I stayed when it flooded and waited for the plumber till 2 a.m.
I was the one who got robbed, and haven't missed a day of work in 8 freaking years!
What pisses me off is that the GUY got promoted yesterday. The guy who WALKED OUT four times and quit in less than a year. The guy who doesn't mind telling the boss, he will leave if he doesn't get some help. What do I get??????? CRAPPED on over and over. I mean .............. how? why? tell me of the justice here?
I so freaking hate this place.

My first entry!
Okay, so I'm new here, so let me tell you a little about where I work.. I work at my local airport for a company called Huntleigh.. Huntleigh used to do all the security checks and such at the airport before TSA took over.. Since then we just do menial jobs like checking tickets, moving bags, and pushing wheelchairs, and so on and so forth.
We are basically the lowest paid employees in the entire airport, lower than the food service and the cleaning crew.. For such a low paying job, our boss is completely obsessed with cracking the whip when she really shouldn't.
About a month after I started I got struck with Lyme disease.. Now this disease if anyone is unfamiliar is more or less something that completely takes you off your feet. Your limbs become weak and every single joint in your body feels like it has really, really horrible arthritis.. I could not hardly walk let alone move bags, so I had doctors notes keeping me out of work..
About a week and a half into the illness my boss calls me and proceeds to inform me that I have been gone too long, and that not even my DOCTORS notes could save my job.. So against doctors orders I was forced back to work doing physical labor. Now granted, I got through it and I'm fine now, but there's more..
She will not, I repeat NOT let you call out sick. If you are sick, genuinely sick, even with something like food poisoning, she will call you up after you've left your message and tell you to get your rear to work.. Feh.
Last thursday there was a really, really, really bad snowstorm. Im talking the plows c ould not keep up with the snow.. ALL of the flights were canceled, and while she was safe at home [cause she decided not to go in on the storm], she called and told us NONE of us could stay home or leave early.. So what did we do? We sat around all day until our shift was over for no reason.. I had never driven in the snow before.. by the time I got out the plows had plowed me into my own parking spot.. I got stuck twice, fishtailed my way home, dug my way into my driveway, and vowed never to go in during a snowstorm ever again. Not only is my car incapable of traversing a snowstorm, but it's NOT worth risking my life for minimum wage.
Oh, but it gets better! BECAUSE I was stuck out in the snow digging myself out of my parking spot, and INTO my driveway, I was sick and in a lot of pain the next day.. You bet that she called me threatening my job if I didn't come in. Now I am not one to call out a lot, but when I am genuinely sick and I know I'm going to be around a lot of people it's not that great an idea for me to go in. >Would YOU want someone hacking and sneezing while they handled things like your ID, your ticket, or your baggage?

HEIYOUNG PARK MUST DIE.
i just needed to post that on a public place. i know none of you know this person, but i get a little bit of satisfaction imagining how freaked out she'd be if she knew a bunch of strangers were reading her name. she is the embodiment of evil... simpering, two-faced, exploitative evil.

Dear Ex-Boss:
It's been four weeks today since you fired me. Oh, I know, you're still trying to convince the department of labor that I quit, but I didn't. You know I didn't, I know I didn't and soon they'll know I didn't. You see, when I filed my appeal after they denied my right to unemployment benefits, they sent me a copy of your statement saying I quit. You also said what a great job I did and how you'd have no reason to fire me. No shit! That's why I filed for unemployment when you did.
Well, I've got my appeal hearing on the 20th. What do you think will happen when I show them the email where you said firing me was the best thing you ever did - you were so afraid I would let it slip that you are fucking around on your husband. What will the DOL say when I show them letters from two companies I interviewed with where the human resources managers there put it in writing that when they called to verify employment not only were they told I was fired, but they were told not to hire me as I would get to know them real well and then blackmail them with what I learned? I never blackmailed you, bitch. Everyone BUT your husband knows you're whoring around. I think he knows it, too, but ignores it since it's just easier when you own a business together. Just so you know, I also have statements from coworkers and customers whom you told that you fired me. This hearing should be fun. I'm looking forward to it.
And I hope your husband meets someone who deserves him. He's a really super guy. If I weren't married myself, I'd take him from your slutty self. And I hope you get every STD known to man - and a few that are known only to dogs.
No love,
me

Hi, I am a Brandi and I work for Bill Miller's BBQ. I have worked there for 6 days and its already horrible.
My store manager and area manager actually are pretty nice. They know and have told me that I am a comptent worker. The two of them leave alone and left do my job.
The two assistant managers are nit picky about everything. I try to be helpful and do things without asking, thus I get yelled at. I do nothing AFTER, I have done all my tasks and I get yelled at. Everytime I am about to start to my tasks is when they notice that I have done them.
In 6 days, I have shined in my area and store managers eyes because of my work ethic and personality.
I guess the two assistants are afraid I'll outshine them and take their jobs away.

I figured when I asked my boss to please make sure breaks were getting out on time that she'd do it for everybody. But NOOO she took it offensively, thought I only wanted MY breaks to go out on time, and gave me all of my breaks before everybody else. I hate it when she does that, tries to make me feel guilty.
What she did the other day, basically was give another coworker that arrived the same time as me all three of her breaks before I'd even gone on my second, and somebody that got there 2 hours after me also got 2 of her breaks before I'd gone on my second. I was skipped in line twice and didn't even get my last break. I got upset and left her a non-threatening note asking her why she'd done that and today when I got to work she was pissy and kept sending me on breaks.
